But five years later, that's just what it did. PBS documents this incredible journey in New Explorers: Expedition Inspiration. Along with 16 other women, Evans took part in a trek to the top of Argentina's Mt. Aconcagua in 1995. The unusual part is that all the climbers had survived breast cancer. The expedition drew international attention to the cause of cancer awareness and raised money for important research. PBS follows these women as they conquer both a mountain and a deadly disease.

The Transgender Revolution also examines the fast-growing movement to combat gender oppression, highlighting the nation's most notorious transsexual killings and a Congressional battle over including transsexuals in the Hate Crimes Act.
